Therapeutic Park
Migdal Park is a unique therapeutic park established with the help of the Foundation for the Development of Services for the Disabled in Social Security. The park's design addresses the problems of children with intellectual disabilities. The park allows our children to flourish in an accessible and properly adapted play area and provides space for community integration of children from the neighborhood in an accessible and adapted play space.
The park has six complexes with facilities that work with the senses: a music complex for auditory development and language activities, facilities for practicing coarse motor activities that enable the establishment of coordination and sensory regulation, and a unique route for practicing caution on the road, with a simulation of road, crosswalks and road signage.
The facilities enable user interaction to develop social skills.
The highlight of the park is a combination of opposites. In keeping with the mutual integration line which Seeach Sod advocates, the park hosts children with learning disabilities and the children of families in their natural and familiar environment, contributing to the community with personal empowerment
Ms. Kate Goldberg, CEO of Wohl Foundation
“I was amazed to see how the staff puts in their entire heart into their work with the special children. It is impressive to see a staff that is so professional and yet at the same time, so warm.”

Ms. Riva Muskal, CEO of Shalem Fund
“We were moved and enlightened by what we saw in Seeach Sod. We hope the Municipality and other social agencies will continue to support those working on behalf of the physically and mentally handicapped.”

A “High-Flying Adventure”!
Residents of two group homes were treated to a high-flying adventure last week: a half hour jet ride over the entire country! Most of the boys had never flown before in their life and were admittedly a tiny bit anxious about flying.
Interactive Fair
Amazing Integration Initiative:
Seeach Sod Students Facilitate an Interactive Fair for Children from Regular Schools!
It was a touching image: hundreds of sweet children from regular preschools marching excitedly through the doors of Seeach Sod, the popular special ed. center that turned into a special attraction! The photos of smiling children from the community, clearly having the time of their life interacting with the special students of Seeach Sod, encapsulate the essence of true integration!
Pesach Prep Program
A big part of Pesach preparations at Seeach Sod was ensuring that all our students would be properly imbued with the knowledge and joy of the upcoming chag. All the various staff members were convened at a special meeting, where Rabbi Shimon Levy shared his vision of the upcoming pre-Pesach day camp: utilizing the time for optimal rehabilitation and recreation, with a focus on enriching the children’s knowledge of Pesach.
